Spanish Campaign: The Assassination

Baron Louis Albert Guillain Bacler d'Alber

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing of an assassination scene. A man lies on his back on the ground, with his head resting on another man's lap. The man on the ground has his eyes closed and appears to be dead or dying. The man sitting behind him holds a smoking gun. A third man sits on a rock to the left, looking down. A large tree with sprawling branches and leaves dominates the scene. In the background, there are mountains and a cloudy sky. The scene is set in a rural or wilderness area, with a distant town visible on the left. The image includes a title and some text at the bottom, written in cursive.
